Once upon a time, advent calendars were just an excuse to have one piece of chocolate every day leading up to Christmas. Weâve since seen brands cover pretty much everything, from wine advent calendars to the more obscure ones involving herb seeds and screwdrivers.Â
We love a challenge, and thatâs what Shimmy is all about: an iOS app where people can âunwrapâ a daily short workout for the next 25 days. Each challenge is 7 minutes long, so no âI donât have the timeâ arguments here. Users get a different workout each day, with routines ranging from Bollywood cardio, 80âs aerobics, and boxing to yoga and breathwork.
The fun part: Once you complete your daily challenge, the trainer leads you to create a looping GIF of that dayâs signature move. The end result is a fun, sharable memento. The makers behind Shimmy also share that during beta testing theyâve noticed that having everyone do the same workout every day sparks conversations among friend groups. Canât wait to complain about those jumping jacks collectively.Â
Why we love it: According to the makers, a non-profit organization, Shimmy has been built, tested, and launched in less than 90 days. That includes filming 33 fitness videos. Whatâs more, theyâre donating $25 to a charity for each person who completes the 25 workouts by Christmas Day.Â
Before you come up with a reason not to do the challenge, see what the communityâs health goals are for 2023. Might get you inspired.Â
